The Waltons: The Big Brother (1976)
John-Boy (Richard Thomas) takes pity on Muffin Maloney (Vicky Schreck), a 12-year-old runaway who claims that her stepfather beats her night and day. When John-Boy allows Muffin to stay with the Waltons for a while, Grandpa (Will Geer) takes an immediate dislike to the girl, convinced that she is a compulsive liar. Actually Muffin is not so much a liar as a con artist--just like her grandfather Nifty Mulligan (Bert Conway), whom she hopes to spring from jail by playing on John-Boy's eagerness to act as her surrogate "big brother." ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
- Director(s):
- Ralph Waite
